Weekend Reading #3

The next time we talk I’ll be galavanting around Central Asia, filling my brain with all sorts of new fodder. I just have a 56-hour train ride to get through first. If there were wifi on this train (hah!) I’d be re-reading this stuff all over again. Failing that, I have two 800-page books, two movies, and piles of podcasts and songs. Hope I make it to Astana with my sanity intact!

•Bye bye, Moscow! For those of you still in town, do check out some of these cool old buildings.

• Are you as big a fan of personality tests as me? This one differs in that it shows how people see you, and what you bring to the table. It’s about $30, but I thought it was quite insightful. I was the “Wise Owl.” Take it and tell me your archetype!

hi Sarah I just found your blog through another ESL teacher’s blog. I am thinking of going to Moscow to teach ESL as well and am a fellow Canadian. Had a quick browse and am interested to see food choices in Russia. I also lived in London for a time, so your posts brings back memories. How long did you live in each city?

Hi Stephen! That’s awesome, London is a great city. My mum’s been living there for four years, so I’ve been there off and on since 2009. I was in Moscow for about a year and a half, and I definitely recommend it as a place to teach ESL, especially if you’re willing to hustle a bit.

Thanks for reading, and if you have any other questions I’ll try my best to answer them!
